Instructions

  1. As you research your inquiry question for your final project, compile a list of sources (bibliography) that help you answer your question and/or provide useful background knowledge for you and your readers.
  2. Cite each source according to APA style.
  3. Below each citation, write a paragraph or so about that source (an annotation). The paragraph should include:
      • A summary of the source
      • Your thoughts on the source (How do you think you will use it in your paper? What bias do you think it might have? What are its strengths, and what are its weaknesses?)
      • A reminder to yourself of anything else you want to make sure you remember about the source

Other Guidelines:

  • At least 6 sources + annotations
  • In addition to writing each citation in APA style, you should also include these other aspects of APA formatting: title page with title, name, university, and any author’s note you want to include, correct running head on all pages, page numbers, correctly titled References page

Grading:

Each source + annotation includes all required parts (4 points per entry = 24 points)
Every other element of APA style listed above is met: 9 points
Turned in on time: 2 points

Total: 35 points
